Elsewhere, Stephan highlighted storage fee misconceptions, clarifying that these do not necessarily prevent potential ads or exploitation.
lots of people seem to think that paying for storage on farcaster means that they won't see ads or be exploited like in web2 1. this money does not fund farcaster apps 2. while there is no serious competition for client diversity there is no inherent reason why this type of exploitation won't happen on warpcast

On the business front, Jason Goldberg from Moxie illustrated complex financial incentives using creative analogies.
Jason has $30 💸 in his piggy bank 🐷 He's allowed to take out $1 every day starting tomorrow 💸 - but he can also use the $30 to buy Apples 🍏 jason buys $30 worth of 🍏 today and lo an behold there's someone who wants to buy Jason's 🍏 for $50! Jason sells the apples and puts $50 💸 in the 🐷 Tomorrow, how many 💸 can Jason take out tomorrow? The answer is 21 💸 because then he still has the required 29 left the next day, 28 the next day, etc.
Community reflections included Kia sharing deep thoughts on Moxie's impact,
goddamnit. i feel like the english language needs a word for when this happens. whatever this was. like the video was the left and the right and the cast was the uppercut. and i feel knocked down rn.
and King exploring the user-value interplay in blockchain systems.

Users discussed popular features and platform improvements, with many praising Dan Romero's integration updates.
Warpcast onboarding flow as of August 1, 2024 I've seen an uptick in casts talking about improving onboarding for non-crypto-people. So here's a live onboarding I just did. I'd say it's pretty close to any web2 experience with the exception of upfront payment. You'll notice: 1. Minimal crypto UX — we use in-app purchases and Passkeys 2. The majority of onboarding interests used to populate the initial algo feed are non-crypto. 3. Since we no longer do initial follows, the initial feed nudges new users to follow more people. (Remember, the number one reason people churn is not enough content in their feed.) 4. Aside: crypto people don't sync contact book but non-crypto people do (because every other social app does this). However, that means the new people don't immediately find people they know the network.
